Discuss Genesis 6 Page 23

When reading the Bible remember that God will help the humans after they have done all that the humanly can do. Bible states that Gid closed the Ark 's heavy door. Remember also when Israelites wandering 40 years in desert that their clothes and footwear did not wear out.

I know that it is proof of predestination. In two ways. The earth was full of violence. The end of this present age was declared here Isaiah 46 9 10 Yahweh has declared the end from the beginning Matthew 24 37 The second way it proves pre destination is that when Noah was given the vision of the flood he was told that He, his wife, his sons, and their wives were going into the arc. At the time he was told that He didn 't have any sons. Isaiah 55 11 So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth. It shall not return to me void. But it shall accomplish that which I please His word was fulfilled by the fact that Noah and his wife his sons and their wives entered the arc. Isaiah 8 20 To the Law and to the Testimony If they speak not according to this word. It is because there is no LIGHT in them. The truth teaches by the Law and the testimony. Luke 24 27. It clearly states that he began at Moses writings of the Law and the Prophets Testimony THEN OPENED HE THEIR UNDERSTANDING that they might understand the scriptures. That 's when the light came into them. Paul the apostle taught the exact same way. Acts 28 Go read it for yourself and see how the Holy Spirit teaches For it is not Paul but the spirit within Paul Same as Yahshua taught saying it was the Father in him doing the works.

Listen, when it talks about Giants in the earth in the bible it 's talking about demons not angels because I guess some may not realize but Hell is in the earth and also are demons and guess what some demons are very big.

How did the food not go bad after 40 days? Also what did the meat eating animals eat.

When God gave the people 120 years to repent this was an example of how long God strove with Moses as he lead the children of Israel out of Egypt into the wilderness Moses died 120 years old and his eyes where not abated The mercy of God is forever but is patience is limited We must never presume upon the patience of God because He is ever merciful Therefore the Spirit says now is the day of salvation and when you hear His voice listen less your heart becomes hardened Noah listened to God and he and his family were saved

I believe that the sons of God referred to in Genesis 6 are angels that were in the process of falling from that status to demonic They are fallen angels who were trying to deceive the whole humanity and that are also referred to in Jude 1 6 7

In verse 7 especially it appears quite clear what God s intent is In addition it is quite clear that this would of necessitate a whole earth flood and not a partial flood

how disappointed was God with man that it grieved His heart that He was sorry for creating us i can only shudder at how He feels right now with all that is going on in the world

When Jesus came to earth he had to take the form of a man and He was subjected to sin and could have sinned Like wise when the angles take the form a man they could have fallen in to temptation and sinned

I believe the Sons of God to be those born from the line of Adam i believe the daughters of man were those created on the 6th day Gen1 27 God created man in His own image in the image of God He created him male and female He created them

Hi Kiganda I have referenced the sons of God in the book of Job Everyone of them are angels not necessarily fallen angels but sons of God none the less When we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal savior with our whole heart We become sons of God and we are born again into God s family through what is called adoption Job 1 6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD and Satan came also among them Job 2 1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD Job 38 7 When the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy In the new testament the book of Jude verse 6 speaks of the angels that kept not their first estate This is a strange statement All angels mentioned in scripture are males Jesus implied that angels are not given in marriage but that does not mean that rebellious angels did not have the power to change their bodies to procreate

i am still doing research about Genesis6:1-4,but i don't believe that it was angels that came from heaven and get marriege,cause the angels can't have sex! ok,if they did it,are they still sons of God? and why the writer used the word "sons of God and yet we have in mind that those were rebelious angels?

To reply to Jason about Gen.6:2. I would say I did not believe that angels could transform themselves to procreate with women, but now I do. I found that Gen.3:15 indicates that the serpent (later to be revealed as Satan), had seed (DNA). I found that interesting considering that the beast of Revelation is some kind of genetic being brought about by Satan. We know that Satan can transform himself into an angel of light. God himself is doing the talking in Gen.3:15 when he said to the serpent "thy seed". So I don't see heresy in this teaching. The first 4 letters of Genesis is where we get the word genetics which in our day has a lot to do with DNA. I also would agree with Sprig's comment about verse 2 on 9/17/2013, 1:08pm...

Noah set an excellent example in obedience to Jehovah God. Even though he was given a new task and instructions that he may not have understood fully, he showed complete faith and trust in God. God's thoughts and ways are higher than our thoughts and ways and so some of the things that God may command us we will not fully understand. If we want to have God's blessing we must fully trust in Him and obey his commandments.

to jason, Jesus drove out devils,unclean spirits,they are as different to the sons of God,as the sun to the moon,the sons of God were a high ranking angelic order of watchers,they are currently in chains in the outer darkness to be released in the last days,devils and familiar spirits are the disembodied spirits of the giants,who need to posses a man to have any peace,they are like spiritual parasites that feed of off lower emotions and sin,again if you would just read the plain text in jude and 2peter you would know where the fallen sons of God are,we enter the promised land of heaven as the redeemed sons of God,by the blood of Jesus,taking the fallen sons of Gods place,everything in the O.T is an an earthly shadow and type of whats to come

to jason, the bible clearly teaches the sons of God were angelic beings, read job,jude,2peter, they left there first estate,heaven,and went after strange flesh,folly,angels naturally dont have sex,but these chose to do so against nature,in the book of job the sons of God appear before God with satan,its heresy to believe the sons of seth theory as its not in the bible,along with evey other civilisation recording celestial beings coming down and mating with women,just read the bible n believe what it says not what you want it to say

I fell into this trap by thinking it was the angels that slept with women, it was there in my face, i argued with people cause i was so convinced that i was right and that angels did have sex, but then i actually started to study and look it up for myself, with prayer and study, God has shown me that angels having sex is a false doctrine, theres loads of scripture that will prove this doctrine wrong. when Jesus drove out demons, does the bible say He drove out Sons of God..nope. It is heresey!! Seek and you will find.

I am deeply stirred at the thought of Almighty God, Creator of everything, being grieved in His heart (as only a Lover can be). How grieved, then, must He be today; with every part of the world filled, again, with ever-increasing violence. I can only say, Come, Lord Jesus! Come quickly!

There are two arguments here. Seth and cain's kids v.s. angels and man's kids. For those who have chose a view i entreat you to ignore your opinion and read the verse in genesis, then fully study out the view point of the one you DO NOT believe. Read every pro-argument against your standing on the subject then and only then compare your original belief. By then regardless of your original standing you will be an expert in both views as well as obtaining the blaring truth of which actually took place...christ said the truth will set you free. Enjoy:)

Only the earthly creatures were created as male and female, not the angels. Devils are fallen "angels" who were neither male nor female in the worldly sense. Therefore neither the angels in heaven nor the fallen angels have any sex interests. Moreover, the rebellious angels can never be called "sons of God". The men of Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to have "sex" with the angels who visited Lot, not because the angels desired so, but those brutish men thought that they were real men. So the only rational explanation is that the lineage of Seth was described here as the "sons of God" that of Cain as the "daughters of men".

This shows the greatness of GOD. And that we should repent our sins

were the sons of God fallen angels or men who were evil?

who were the sons of God?

I believe the fallen angels were examples of greak mythologey gods, as sons of god pridefull and rebellious hateing man already and taking advantage of the powers and strentgh of angles that are 9 feet tall

BUT in Numbers 23:19 It says .

"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent:"

It seems like a Discrepancy ?

It's good!! It helps sooooo much

Brent 1 Cor. 15:39-40 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
St. Luke 13:30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
St. Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. Gen 6:4 (when the sons of God) Adam (came in unto the daughters of men) whom God had created on the sixth day of eternity Gen 6:7 (for it repenteth me that I have made them.) 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. Gen 6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. Main articles: Captain goes down with the ship and Sinking of the RMS Titanic. Remember this captain smith (titanic) issued a public challenge to God and over 1,500 people lost their lives. Of Corse there’s a perfectly good explanation for how it happened. Gods work is real, no magic; but magical Miracles do happen; but if you want to spend your days explaining how. Jesus spoke of that place prepared for you. St. Matt 24:51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. But don’t take God away from your children. Gen 6:22 Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.

In answer to the questions about Genesis 6:17..and what about fish in the arc, the answer is in the text! " destroy all flesh wherein is the breath of life: from under heaven and everything that is in the Earth... Fish and underwater creatures would not be described as having BREATH of life?..and in the EARTH may be referring to dry land....

@Ronald Allen, . (regards to Jubilees), . I get 7000 years from the birth of Adam till judgement (by a different route I think) but it seems (since prophecy is foggy anyway) , That in the way I get there, we are in the last 1000 years, we are that generation.
